Hi, this i probably only indirectly related to lyx, but i thought there are some experts on this list who might have an answer.
I downloaded the powerdot presentation (see here: http://www.ctan.org/tex- archive/macros/latex/contrib/powerdot/lyx/) i opened it up in lyx and used pdflatex on it, which then gave me many 'undefined control sequence' errors. When i did file->export-?pdf(dvipdfm) and then opened the resulting pdf file it worked right out of the box. I was under the impression that pdflatex is equivalent to dvipdfm except for the intermediate dvi output. I am using lyx: v1.6.5, pdflatex: pdfTeX 3.1415926-1.40.10-2.2 (TeX Live 2009/Debian) kpathsea version 5.0.0 Copyright 2009 Peter Breitenlohner (eTeX)/Han The Thanh (pdfTeX). There is NO warranty.
